October 27th, 2009...a beautiful rainy day...that's right...there is such a thing...mhmmm...you see...inspiration...like colors...comes in many different shades...it's all about perspective...but...sometimes perspective is hard to come by...hard to decipher...some times the interference in our World is overwhelming...
Today I wanted to share this excerpt from E.Fox's Around the Year with E. Fox...one of my favorite books...
Give It Time...
"People sometimes accept the idea that a change of thought, plus turning to God in prayer, will transform their lives into harmony and freedom. The logic of this principle appeals to them, and they set to work upon it in earnest. Then, after a few days, they say, "Nothing has happened after all," and they drop back into their old negative thinking.
That is EXTREMELY foolish. The results of many years of general negative thinking are seldom corrected in a few days. No one who goes upon a new physical diet or medical regimen expects to reap the advantages in so short a time. You must keep up the new way of thinking and refuse to be discouraged by seeming failures at first.
The right motive for adopting right thinking is that it is right and that wrong thinking is wrong; and we should do right whether it seems to pay dividends or not. Of course, it does pay dividends...FABULOUS dividends...but it usually takes a little perseverance in the face of preliminary slowness."
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13
It's funny...people spend their entire lives searching for something...and when they finally find it...it seems foreign...as if they had been stranded on a desert island...and they have to relearn something they already knew to be true and right...but when something seems foreign...it may seem as though it really doesn't feel right...so we think...it must be wrong...but what we should be asking ourselves...is it REAL...is it too GOOD to be TRUE...or is it REAL and RIGHT...sadly...all too often...in the end...I believe people end up selling themselves short because they don't know how to just dance...just flowing with the music...
Basic principles...there are none...so maybe...just go with it...just smile and go with it...
